ICD-10-PCS Code For Uterus: Procedure Code Group Overview

The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) code group DU02 includes procedures performed to deliver beam radiation to structures in the uterus. These ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient documentation when therapeutic radiation beams are administered to treat uterine disease. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-PCS DU02 group is essential for proper inpatient reimbursement, as it captures the procedure performed and supports clinical documentation accuracy.

Uterus Beam Radiation Procedure Overview

Procedures in this group involve delivery of beam radiation therapy directed at the uterus and related structures within the female reproductive system. These inpatient procedures use external or internally directed radiation beams to treat malignant or benign conditions of the uterus. Accurate coding of beam radiation procedures to the uterus ensures clinical care is properly documented and supports appropriate inpatient reimbursement.

When to Use

Use a code from this group when beam radiation is administered to treat conditions of the uterus during an inpatient stay. Select the appropriate code to reflect that the operation performed was beam radiation directed at the uterine body.

ICD-10-PCS Codes

ICD-10-PCS Code	Description
DU020ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Photons <1 MeV
DU021ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Photons 1 - 10 MeV
DU022ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Photons >10 MeV
DU023Z0	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Electrons, Intraoperative
DU023ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Electrons
DU024ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Heavy Particles (Protons,Ions)
DU025ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Neutrons
DU026ZZ	Beam Radiation of Uterus using Neutron Capture

Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 68-year-old woman with newly diagnosed locally advanced endometrial carcinoma is admitted for initiation of inpatient external beam radiation as part of a combined-modality treatment plan because of symptomatic pelvic pain and need for daily immobilization and planning. Beam radiation is delivered using high-energy photons in the therapeutic range appropriate for deeper pelvic targets to treat the uterine body. The procedure documents beam radiation to the uterus during the inpatient stay to ensure accurate coding of the therapeutic radiation delivery. Typical codes: DU022ZZ
A 54-year-old woman with recurrent uterine sarcoma presents with rapidly enlarging pelvic mass causing hematuria and pain; she is admitted urgently for palliative control of bleeding and pain. Intraoperative electron beam radiation is delivered directly to the uterine tumor bed at the time of surgical exploration to provide localized high-dose treatment while minimizing deeper tissue exposure. The inpatient record documents intraoperative electron beam radiation directed at the uterus to control symptoms. Typical codes: DU023Z0
A 47-year-old woman previously treated with external photon radiation for cervical extension into the uterine fundus returns with a radioresistant uterine tumor; a proton therapy boost is planned during an inpatient admission due to complex comorbidities requiring close monitoring. Beam radiation using heavy particles (protons/ions) is delivered to the uterine body as a targeted boost to address recurrent disease while limiting dose to surrounding structures. The inpatient procedure entry specifies beam radiation to the uterus using heavy particles. Typical codes: DU024ZZ
